Sustainable Behavior Change

ENVS 300
Fall 2014
Section: 01  
Certificates: Environmental Studies

Very frequently, the default mode of influencing environmental behaviors is through increased information-sharing and awareness-raising. While these efforts are well-intentioned, psychological research indicates that in most cases, increased knowledge and awareness do little or nothing to alter behaviors because of the complexity and difficulty of changing ingrained habits.
Through this course, which is a required component of the Eco Facilitators Program, we will draw on extensive behavior change, communication, and social marketing research to introduce you to theory and practice that will increase your understanding of effective methods to influence behavior. You will develop theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and an opportunity to apply your learning within a dorm-based setting.
